We train our bodies and our minds to be prepared for daily life. Aikido can be whatever you want it to be. It can be self defense, spiritual practice, exercise or just a way to connect to Japanese culture. How ever you wish to train you should train with intent and with a serious attitude. You should also have fun and enjoy training.

In this style of aikido weapons or bukiwaza are emphasized and trained on a regular basis.
